A '''light field''' is a volume of [[light]] that is segmented into rays that have direction, magnitude, and optionally color. It is a method of representing light that includes the angle of each ray of light. It can be a volume of light treated as a set of [[ray]]s, or a flat surface through which different angled light travels.

A '''light field''' is a volume of light that has rays going in various directions. A light field represents light in a way that can be viewed naturally through 3D displays. It is a volume of [[light]] that is segmented into rays that have direction, magnitude, and optionally color. It is a method of representing light that includes the angle of each ray of light. It can be a volume of light treated as a set of [[ray]]s, or a flat surface through which different angled light travels.
    
A light field is the set of light rays flowing through a surface or volume from every direction. It represents how light travels in physical space from a [[ray optics]] perspective. A light field can be viewed using a [[light field photograph]]. A light field can be displayed using a [[light field display]], which is a type of [[multifocal display]]. It is possible to record a light field using a [[light field camera]], such as a camera from [[Lytro]].
